Insulation R-Value Standards
We build ceilings to R-60 and walls to R-38 values. Combining fiberglass batt insulation with external continuous foam boards stops heat bridging through wood framing studs.
Heat Recovery Ventilators (HRVs)
Alaska homes must be airtight. An HRV units continuously exchanges stale indoor air with fresh outdoor air, pre-heating the incoming cold air using heat captured from exhaust streams.
Triple-Pane Low-E Windows
Windows are the primary source of heat loss. Triple-pane glass with argon gas fillings and low-emissivity coatings reduces chill near windows significantly.
